The rod f has attached This invention aims to provide adevice for at its upper end a comparatively short arm 'i, holding expanded umbrellas, which device said parts being angularly. adjustable by 10 may be applied to a carriage, automobile, a .means of a thumb-nut 7c. The upper end chair, or to any suitable support and readily portion of the rod f and the cooperating so adjusted as to hold the umbrella in proper end '1'. of the arm i are perforated and proposition toprotect the user against the sun or vided with cooperating serrations or teeth on rain, as the case may be, whereby the hands their adjacent faces, by which said parts, in
